Afghan govt. demands arrest of US "death squad" who handcuffed, executed 8 children. US refuses

January 7, 11:02 AMLA County Nonpartisan ExaminerCarl Herman

Kai Eide, UN Representative to Afghanistan confirmed the Afghan government’s investigative conclusions that US troops handcuffed and then executed eight students enrolled in grades 6 through 10 in a night raid on December 27, 2009. The US military and NATO responded the troops involved were non-official. The most likely source of para-military “non-official” troops in Afghanistan is Blackwater/Xe.

President Hamid Karzai demanded arrest of the US troops engaged in the break-in and mafia-style execution of their children. The US responded to the Afghan demand of January 1 by rejecting the findings of the Afghan government and UN with a vague promise of their own self-investigation at some later date.

Dave Lindorff caught corporate media in repulsive disinformation by quoting the NY Times titling and introducing this incident as:

Attack Puts Afghan Leader and NATO at Odds

KABUL, Afghanistan -- The killing of at least nine men in a remote valley of eastern Afghanistan by a joint operation of Afghan and American forces put President Hamid Karzai and senior NATO officials at odds on Monday over whether those killed had been civilians or Taliban insurgents.

Please consider my analysis in the below “Comment Policy” section of why corporate media frames the news in this way.
